Central NY man admits killing sister-in-law

SYRACUSE — A central New York man has admitted killing his sister-in law. Investigators say the siblings had fought over money.

Local media outlets in Syracuse report that Larry Frank, of Phoenix, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Onondaga County Court on Friday for the November killing of 53-year-old Patricia Gryczka of Geddes.

Frank is expected to be sentenced April 26. He could get 25 years to life in jail.

Police acting on a call from a resident who heard a noise at the back of his property found Gryzcka's body in a ravine south of Syracuse on Nov. 19. That witness gave investigators a license plate number that led to Frank's arrest.
